Risk Assessment Conducting thorough risk assessments is a foundational step in implementing precautionary measures. This process involves identifying potential hazards, evaluating the likelihood of exposure, and determining the severity of health or environmental impacts.
Training and Education Providing comprehensive training to employees and stakeholders is crucial. Training should cover the safe handling of nanomaterials, emergency response procedures, and the proper use of PPE.
Research and Development Continuous research and development are necessary to improve the safety and efficacy of nanotechnology. Investing in safer alternatives and developing new technologies that minimize risks can significantly enhance precautionary measures.
